From: Burgundy, France
Varietal: Pinot Noir
The Guillemot family has worked Savigny-lès-Beaune vines for eight generations (!) and produces wines with classic Burgundian finesse and balance, all while leaving us a reminder of Savigny’s rustic character. But do not be fooled into thinking that this means they lack aging potential; the Guillemots are very proud of their old wines and thankfully have the foresight to set aside a good supply and follow their wines’ development over the years.
Tasting Notes:
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
"Exhibiting aromas of wild berries, coniferous forest floor, potpourri and spices, the 2016 Corton Le Rognet et Corton Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, layered and nicely concentrated, with a deep core of sweet fruit, excellent mid-palate amplitude and largely concealed structuring tannins, underpinned by a tangy line of acid. Guillemot's holdings on the hill of Corton were spared the frost, so the wine was entirely classic in terms of yields and vinification."
